Solana Mobile launches SKR airdrop for Seeker users — how to claim and stake
Solana Mobile has launched the SKR token and opened a 90-day airdrop for eligible Seeker smartphone users and Season 1 developers. About 2 billion SKR tokens are allocated across five tiers to roughly 100,908 Seeker users and 188 developers. Eligible recipients needed to activate a Seeker Genesis Token before or during Season 1. Claims must be made on-device via the Seeker’s Seed Vault Wallet (Activity Tracking tab) and require ~0.01 SOL for the transaction fee; unclaimed allocations return to the airdrop pool after April 20. Claimed SKR can be staked immediately with initial staking operating without commission; the protocol mints inflationary staking rewards on a schedule that begins at 10% annual inflation and declines yearly toward a 2% floor. Since launch SKR price rose about 40% to roughly $0.0111, with a 24-hour low of $0.00537 and high of $0.01294 and trading volume up over 3,000%. Jupiter added a $50,000 SKR prize pool to boost liquidity and engagement. The airdrop and Season 2 rollout — which expands the on-device dApp Store and highlights DeFi, gaming, payments, trading and DePIN apps — aim to grow the hardware-linked user base (Solana Mobile reported 150,000 Seeker preorders and global shipments) and seed broad token ownership to support staking, governance and app curation.
Bullish
The combined news is bullish for SKR specifically. The airdrop distributes ~2 billion tokens to a defined hardware-linked user base, increasing the number of on-chain holders and likely reducing sell pressure initially because claims must be made on-device and many recipients may choose to stake. Immediate staking support and an inflation schedule that mints staking rewards create on-chain utility and demand for staking activity. Early trading metrics — a ~40% price rise and a >3,000% spike in volume — plus liquidity support from Jupiter’s $50,000 prize pool boost short-term market interest and order-book depth. In the short term, expect elevated volatility with upward bias as holders claim, test staking, and traders respond to heightened liquidity and promotional incentives. In the medium-to-long term, the impact depends on claim uptake, how many recipients stake versus sell, and broader Solana network conditions; sustained staking and increased dApp usage tied to Season 2 would be constructive for SKR price, while heavy sell-through by recipients could cap gains. Overall, present signals favor a positive price impact for SKR.
